BOYS HELD BY THE POLICE.
Conflicting Stories of Two Youths Suggest
Mystery as to Their Identity.

The township trustee and the police are in
vestigatng the record of two small boys who
have been around the city several weeks telling
number of different stories regarding them
selves. Two weeks ago one of the boys APP
peared at the Newsboys' Home and asked for
shelter, stating that he had escaped from gang
of gypsies who had stolen him near Lafayette
The police were unable to find any gypses
around the city, but the boy was allowed to re-
main at the home Monday evening a stranger
left a boy at Searss saloon, Noble street.
with the explanation that he would call for him
in short time. Tuesday evening the boy had
not been called for, and was turned over to the
police. At first he said his name was Willie
Woods, and that in company with two brothers
he had gone to Omaha from Chillicothe, O., two
years ago. Times being dull there they had
started back, and had been in this city for sew
eral weeks sleeping in the railroad round houses
The boy who told the gypsy story at the home
he said, was his brother Subsequently he told
another story to the effect that his real name
was Willie Mitchell and that his parents live in
the home were persuaded to accompany a man
named Charley, with the promise that they
should have a good time After the boy had
been locked up, Captain Forbes, of the trustees
Office, called at the home to the brother,
ana found that short time before two men had
driven there IN a buggy and taken the boy away
The police are unable to solve the mystery sur
rounding the escapade and will hold the boy
they have until they can hear from the officers
at Braidwood, Ill The boys are both bright
and intelligent, and there is belief that they
are being used as tools by professional thieves.

WHERE BAD BOYS ARE MADE GOOD.
Annual Report of the Managers of the In
diana Reform School for Boys.

The board OF control of the Indiana Reform
School for Boys yesterday fled its report for the
fiscal year ending Oct. 81, 1887. It opens with a
discussion of the responsibility of parents for
boys who 60 to the bad, holding that proper
training will almost invariably make good boys,
and then passes to congratulatory comment on
the change Of the penal lev, which prevents
sending boys to the school unless convicted Of
crime or wholly beyond control
saThe result is" the report says, ''that boys
who have committed all grades of crime, rom
murder down, are sent to our institution. The
law permits boys ten and under seventeen
years OF age to be sent for incorrigibility, but
complaint under oath must be fled and the evil
dence heard in the presence of the boy. The
Judiciary of the State very properly construe
this clause strictly, aud only commit boys who
are absolutely beyond the control Of their par
ents or guardians. The institution is for boys
who have committed crime, and the very worst
class OF incorrigbes and it is only these classes
that are sent Under the law, no other
class, except committed boys, can be committed,
and are not unless some person commits per-
jury"

When the friends who had gathered to attend
the last rites entered the house, they found in
the room where the services were to be held in
stead OF a coffin the body of the deceased reclin-
ing upon the lounge, her head resting upon her
hand, and q silk comfort thrown over her. if

when the friends had been dismissed, the coffin

give him. The faculty Of controlling boys with
out force is born in the and it fire.
Quently happens that those with limited edu-
cation make the best officers Officers are always
appointed on trial. and should they fail no
amount of political influence keep them in
their places. 1t is only the test of actual work
that can determine the fitness OF an officer for
reform school duties; hence. examination of
an applicant for a position in reform school as
public school teachers are examined, would be a
mere farce. Should he answer all the questio ms
and have a good moral and religious character
in addition. but lack the born gift of kind and
cheerful nature, he will prove failure and be
unfi.tsd for the work. When the Reform School
shall be compelled to take its officers from
civilservice commission, the present members
of the board will be happy to relinquish their
trust"
The theory of reformation held by the board
is to avoid the appearance of prison life far
possible and educate the subject into better
method of existence The rags in which he
may come they say, give place to a suit OF
blue jeans; the boy is assigned to family,
joins in the sports and songs of the boys who
have preceded him. and enters upon new life.
For the first time, perhaps. he is the member OF
u cheerful and well-regulated home. and nat
uraliy drops into the ways of the other mem
bers of the family and Is contented and happy"
Tribute is paid to John G. Blake follows:
"For seven and half years John G. Blake has
been our chaplain. His talks to the boys have
been plain. practical and very instructive He
wins the hearts OF the boys on the play grounds
and in their family homes before they enter the
chapel, and the result is that Brother Blake,
they call him, has the undivided attention Of
every boy at the morning service AS he has
been elected superiD tendent of the Feeble
minded Institution and will soon leave the
board embraces this opportunity of returning
thanks to him for the great assistance rendered
In the work of reforming the boys, and for his
unselfish aid and constant friendship to hun
dreds of our discharged boys who have returned
to the city of India annapolis His loss the Re-
form School is great and we part with him with
regret
The board considers farm abor the safest oc
cupation for reformed boys. 1t saws: IAN eff
fort is made to inculcate love for farm labor,
and nearly all the boys enjoy working the
farm, in the garden and with the teams To
carry out the views of the board and give more
boys chance to become farmers, land
should be purchased aud added to the 225
which now compose the farm. An ap-
peal will be made to the next Legislature do
this. The discharged boys who have gone out
to work upon farms have nearly all done well.
while many who have gone to cities have failed"
The cost OF keeping each hoy for tine ensuing
year is fixed at $780, one-half of which. under
the law, is paid By the county from which the
boy is sent.
